Harrison's love for the Chinamen and his rote to allow them to come into this country unmolested and unhinder ed, will lose him the vote of every Pa cific coast State as sure as election day comes. Hcn. Samuel J. Randall, who was taken seriously ill at WashiLgton last week Is reported much tetter. While still very weak he is gaining strength and big physicians are hopeful for his ultimate recovery. Tite New York Legislature as sembled in extra session on Tuesday. The Governor's message related solely to the subject of making an appropria tion to provide work for the convicts in the prisons of the State. Unnecessary taxation is unjnst tax ation, and unjust taxation is robbery of those taxed. The treasury is overflow in;, and, in the face of this fact, the Republican party proposes to continue the burdensome taxes which draw un necessarily from the people. General Harrison, the Republi can Cindidate for President baa been quite ill for several days but is again able to be out. II is illcees is attributed to over work In supervising his large correspondence. He wi'l be a good deal sicker after the November election. Harrison was nominated on account of his pedigree and Morton in the hope that ho would use his barrel aiid also be able to get some of the other barrels in Wall street on tap. He Is a Wall street banker and the g. o. p. expect him to shell out the boodle from bis cornuaco pia with a liberal hand. Senator 2uay, of this State, has been made Chairman of the Repub lican National Conrmittee. Quay was manager of the Sherman boom at Chi cago, which proved a disastrous fizzle and when he takes an Inventory of stock after the November enaction he will find his political capital away below par. Last week Judje Simlngton, of Ilar risburg, in a case in which exceptions were taken to a tax collector's bond was up. gave a decision in which the Act of providing for the election of tax collectors is declared unconstitutional This decision replaces the appointive power In the hands of the County Com missioners. On Friday of last week General I5rou!anger, the James G. Blaine of France, and Prime Minister Ficquet, fought a duel with swords, near Paris. General Boulanger was wounded in the neck and will be laid up for a short time but there is no danger of a French duel terminating fatally unless it snould be by some unavoidable accident. James G. Blaine will nail for this country about tbe lit of August In the new steamer the City of New York. The steamer is a new one, one cf the finest ships afloat, and la owned by Americans, but owintr to the beneficent shipping laws that the g. o. p. has in flicted on this country the vessel flies the British flg at her masthead. Chairman CoorEn, of the Republi can State Committee, has Issued a call for the committee to meet at Philadel phia on Wednesday, August 8th, for the purpoue of placing In nomination a candidate for Auditor General. Chair man Klaner, of the Democratic Com mittee, will likely issue a call in a few days for alike purpose. Auditor General MaCamant will te the Republican can didate without opposition and the Dem ocratic caudidate, will probably come from the western part of the State. Ch airman Baknum.oI the Natioua Democratic Committee, last week ap pointed thefollowing campaign commit tee: William L. S-jott, Pdnnsylvania ; Arthur r. Gorman, Marylaud; Mate W. Ransom, North Carolina ; Calvia S. Brlce, Ohio ; John S. Barbour. Vir ginia ; Hermann Oatrlchs. New York ; Miles Boss, ew Jersey ; Arthur Se- j wall, Maine, and Erskine M. rhalps, I Illinois. On Tuesday th committee j cut at thtir headquarters in New York, . und elect fd Clvin S. Brice, of Ohio, as Ch -.irmnn of tlx 'uuiiju Commit- ,' tf. j John J. Kinney, Esq., '.he Demo cratic candidate tor sheriff, has bern in the field some six weeks and has not been assailed as to his competency or honesty by a single voter of any party in Cambria county. Born within a few rods of bere be now lives,he baa always sustained tbe character of a pure and upright citizeu possessing every qualifi cation necessary for the office for which be baa been nominated. Still Know- Not h In gs assail nim not because be la an Irishman, for be is not, but because he is a true Democrat and a good man. They assailed William B. Bonacker and Herman Banmer, tbe same way be cause they were Gerraans, but the Irish voted for both of them and elected them sheriffs. They assailed John Byan the same way because be waa an Irishman, but the Germans voted for him and elected fcim. Thus Democrat 'a don't care where a man is born if be is a true Democrat and a good man. The Republicans of to-day who are tbe Know-Notblngs of a few years ago, never vote for any foreigner, be ho Ger man or Irish ; but they will use false hood to create a feeling between them. Thus tbe Johnstown Tribune printed nearly thirty miles from Gallitzin as serts that, not Mr. Kinney, but om hody said at Gallitlzln, "to bell with tbe dutch," and while the German citizens present contradict tbe falsehood, that paper, true to lit Know-Notclng In stincts persists in it. Our citizens, whether German, Irish, or American appreciate these falsehoods at their true value. Equally baseless is their talk about the primary elections. Each candidate bad agreed to use no list of tickets but those furnished by the chairman. They bad a right, as between themselves, to make such agteercent. And no man dare say that Mr. Kinney violated that agreement. But neither he nor any other candidate bad, or could have, any right to prevent any Democrat from writing his own ticket, or voting any printed ticket with tbe proper number of names. And every Democrat knows this if the Know-Nothlng don't. If any friends of Mr. Kinney, or any other candidate saw proper to do this it was simply their own business. Tbe further slander has been batched that Mr. Kinney made terms with another candidate by which be with drew. We are authorized by Mr. Kin ney to pronounce this at base falsehood. That be never made or authorized any such promise to any candidate. Governor Hill, of New York, says : "Oar opponents delight to reit erate the charge that onr party is tbe party of free trade. It is their entire party capital in this campaign. They seem to think that the constant asser tion of a falsehood makes it less false. They underestimate tbe intelligence of the people, who appreciate fair play in politics as well as in everything else. "It does not follow that a party Is op posed to all tariffs because it Is oppoeed to a high and extortionate one. Be cause a party opposes a war tariff in time of peace it is not necessarily op posed to any tariff destruction. To modify is cot to annihilate. Tariff re form does not mean free trade. It means trade less burdened by unnecessary ex actions." ' The Springfield Mass., Jlepullcar, as its name indicates, a Republican pa per, indulges in some sensible talk ia regard to the Republican bowl about "Free Trade." It s ys : Tariff revision is Mr. Cleveland's gift to this cam paign. And the answer is an unprin cipled cry of "Free Trade." One mignt as well accuse a man of proposing to disrobe because he takes off bis over coat in warm weather as to assume that a 10 per cent, reduction of duties means a 100 per cent, destruction. It ia this kioa of captious criticism that offends people. The trafij in false colors, as evidence of loss of faith and lark of trust in the power of honesty and virtue, is this tbe thing that threatens the lie publican party and multiplies independ ence. According to the report of Consul Bissmger, from Beirut, Syria, the Rus sian petroleum which was Introduced there about two years a?o, wholly driv ing out American competition on ac count of its cheapness, baa proven un satisfactory, and more expensive In the end. It burns sway more rapidly, and cites a poorer light, besides being in securely put up, so as to cause loes to tbe dealers from leakage. Merchants in Beirut are again ordering shipments or American oil. owing to tbe demands of customers, and as this trade amount ed in tbe past to over 52dO.00O a year. Its revival is a matter for congratula tion. "The people of this country care just aNjut nothing at all for tbe grandsons of their grandfathers." says the Phila delphia Times "and but little even for the sons of their fathers. That senti ment was tried disastrously in New York last fall when Colonel Fred. Grant was dereated by thousands regardlens of the profound reverence for the mem ory of his father ; and tbe name of Bob Lincoln hardlv called out a cheer in tbe Chicago Conrention, although be em bodies the most sacred sentiment among Republicans as the son of Abraham Lincoln." Congress is still working on the Mills bill. Tbe motion on Monday to strike wool off tbe free list waa defeated by a yote of 102 to 120. thu retaining the provision by 18 majority. Only tbre Democrats voted against free wool and they were Sowden.of Pennsylvania, Foran. of Ohio, and Wilklns. Ander on. Rep., of Iowa, voted wllb the Democrats. The Mills bill baa been modified in many respects and it is thought that a final vote on tbe measure will be teiched this week and tbe bill passed. Col. John R. Fellows, of New lork, in a speech at Baltimore paid a tribute to the memory of William Henry IUiriaon, but suggested that a grand father's fame waa sometimes like a grandfather's clock, which "Stopped short never to go again when the old man dird." lis i'.ao made a great hit when in the course at th im. .rw.i. - . Our government Is well condiipt I & d we are at peace with all the world' except In3.Ha and Foraker." Professional Politicians. Some good people have qoit voting. and ceased to take auy interest In their local campaigns, because tbey say tbe nomination are all made tbe profes sional politicians, and tbe detail of government are dictated by them, no matter which way tbey vote. There is some truth in this. A good many local campaigns are bound to result against tbe people because an me canaiaatea are tools who can be used ror tne pur poses of tbe men who set tbem np. A few bilious and bitter malcontents even go so far as to say that a Republican form of government is wrong because of this political abuse. Tbe form is all right. The trouble is not with tbe form of government. Tbe trouble is with tbe indifference of the people ; rather with the eagrossiug business of tbe people. The busy man of affairs does not take time to go into politics and see to it that proper men are nominated and elected. Tbe Amer ican spirit of push in business affairs bas attracted alt attention, and tbe busi ness man in a moderate way, or tbe pro fessional man and thinker hardly takes time to so to tbe polls at a general election and cast bis ballot. On tbe other band, unscrupulous men of more than ordinary wealth are quick to see tbe advantages of perversion of tbe functions of Democratic government. Not having time to get into politics themselves, tbey hired men with not too nice a sense of honor to do politics for tbem. This gave rise to the professional pol itician. Young men who bad some wit and do conscience have taken up the profession and pursued it for profit, their pay coming from powerful corpo rations and very wealthy individuals in return for influence exerted in favor of special privileges and legislation in the interest of capital as against tbe welfare of tbe masses. Thus a great deal of such legislation is found on the statute books ot every State in tbe Lnioo, and tbe appeal of tbe citizen for manifest justice is often defeated by coming in contact with these "vested rights" of some great monopolistic corporation or combination. This year tbe professional politician ascended to national politics. Harri son and Morton are tbe result in tbe ticket, and tbe Republican platform for I free whisky and the perpetuation of the monopolies who foot tbe bills are the result in principle. Quay is tbe very personification of tbe professional poli tician, and he is intrusted with tbe conduct of tbe campaign with the well known methods. There is no attempt to make it appear that tbe candidates nominated at Chicago were tbe choice of any considerable number of people, even in tbe Republican party. The most popular candidates were shame lessly cut to pieces by the professional politicians in the pay of tbe monopolies and capitalistic combinations. But even this invasion of national politics by the professional politician does not make our system of Democratic government wrong. It it tbe profes sional politician who is wrong, and that social system is wrong which demands such close attention to business on tbe part of honest men that they must allow these boodle politicians to choose candi dates for tbem. It is tbe dutv of every good citizen to support tbe constitution of bis country and be does not do that wto allows tbe professional politician to endanger its permanence by tbe prac tice of his business of Doodling in poll tics. The citizen who gets too virtnous to mingle in the foul struggle of politics Is not a good citizen, and cannot become a good citizen, until be rolls np bis sleeves and goes into tbe foul pool with the dis infectant, honesty, and does what he can to purify it. Tbe people have it iu their bands to unhorse the professional politis ciausand trample them into tbe dust, and they should do it. There Is a first rate opening In this c:ty to begin sncb a process, and extending it to tbe State will wipe Chairman Quav, Chairman Cooper and Chairman-to-be Andrews In one common reap, as traitors to tbe constitution which prohibits bribery di rect and indirect. Let tbe reform pro cession moie.rtttsburg rost. The King Business. Wbat Artemoa Ward called "the King business" does not promise to be thriving ecoucb in twenty or thirty years from now to warrant tbe atten tion that is being given at present to the rearing and training of Crown Princes aod other heirs apparent. A young lad has just been brutally torn from bis mother in Germany in order that be may be fitted to succeed bis scapegrace father aa King of Servia. The youngster bas no more right to rule over Servia than be bas to be proclaimed Mayor of London or Governor of Ohio. He is simply a pawn et Aostrla, plaved by that power to check tbe Russian scheme of aggrandizement. Tbe people of Servia aro no more considered In tbe matter than though tbey were so many Bbeep. The Infant "King of Spain" has been taken to tbe aeacoaat by bis mother to finish bis teething or tone op bis "little inside," with aa much fuss and eere monv aa though be were destined to prolong a heaven-sent dynasty. And one of the younger English Princes is being utilized for "public events" Just to show that the reigning class expect to extend their line "to the crack of doom." Unless the signs of the time fall, none of these royal kids or their succes sors will be in tbe "King business at tbe end of another generation. Tbe SDirlt of Dsmocraey ia marching 00. 2T. Y. World. The farmers last year produced $323, 073.793 more than waa reunited for the home market and sold it abroad. Tbey were paid In goods made by foreign paopers, let us admit. But the farmers made so much by the exchange that tbev couid afford to py the custom bouse fine of 1162.90.3,109 (their share of the tax Imposed to protect the combines and trusts) a"d stli; dispose of them to their countrymen at a small profll. Farming paid even under this fearful fine or con fiscation ot thirty-one per cent, of the value of goods exchanged. The Repub lican platform is opposed to permitting any interference with Americans mak ing foreign pauper products and com peting with foreign paupen. It pro poses to raise still higher this fine upon sales to foreign countries until all tbe farmer's profit in tbe exchange are swallowed up. This will limit him to tbe borne market, ir be produces more than we need, bis grain may rot in tbe fields. He shall not export it. Tbe Dexucratte platform is in favor of a small reduction of this fine so tbat b!s profits msy be increased and the in crease of production and consequent in crease of workmen in a highly profitable Industry wherein no person comes in competition with foreign pauper labor. The farmer may prefer to vote tbe Re publican ticket, but in doing so be voces against bis own interests. -t Experiment.

One party, with few exceptions, de mands, by amendment offered to tbe pending tariff bill, tbat tbe duties of 1S67 shall be restored, wnicn wouia im pose a tax of about 165 per cent, on tbe cheaper grades ot woolen gooas. Tbe other party, witb few exceptions. favors tbe reveal of all tax upon wool and its free admission in tbe interest of onr woolen manufacturers and labor. Which is right ? Which is wrong ? We now tax our borne consumers of woolen product 53 per cent, ostensibly to protect our woolen industries and give tbem our home market. If we thereby obtained our borne market it might be wise to tax tbe workiegmen 53 cents of every dollar of tbe wages be expends for woolen goods, but does this excessive taxation give us our borne market ? On tbe contrary, oar highly protected woolen manufacturers and our overtax ed woolen consumers, give our home woolen manufacturers and labor only 52 per cent, of our borne markets, while Europe comes in and supplies 43 per cent, of it. why ra this so? Tbe reason is plain as tbe unclouded sun at noonday. Tbe European manu facturer gets bis wool and other raw ma terials free; tbe American manufacturer is so exorbitantly taxed for bis raw ma terial tbat even with a 53 per cent, tax imposed npon consumers of woolen goods, to protect our capital and labor, Europe can pay tbe high tax and com pete witb us in our borne markets. Witb free wool atd reduced taxes on the necessailes ot life, our woolen man ufacturers could reduce tbe cost of wool ens to consumers not leaa than 20 per cent ; tbey could double our product of woolen and uppl our whole borne market ; tbey could double tbe employ ment of labor in the woolen industry, and both capital and labor could get better compensation witb reduced taxes upon consumers. And what would the people gain by it? We consume annually $10 par bead of woolen goods tbat is $600,000,000. We now fornish from borne mills and labor about $300,000,000 and pay European mills and labor for nearly $300,000,000. A redaction of 20 per cent in woolens would relieve the consumers of woolens annually of tbe enormous sum of fl?0.- 000,000. and of that sum Tl 5,000,000 would be saved by tbe consumers of wooleus in Pennsylvania alone, while in the entire wool crop of tbe State does not exceed 230.000. Everybody consume woolea goods. and especially our workingmen. Many of them wear only woolens the whole year, and tbey are now taxed 53 per cent. and much more on some of tbe cheaper articles to protect our woolen mills aod labor, wben the proposed pro tection defeats itself by taxes upon tbe raw materials we must have. Was ever such folly committed by an bonest government ? "But we must proteot tbe labor of tbe sheep Industry," answers tbe monopo list champion. Pray, what labor is there in wool growing ? Tbe labor In volved in the care of a flock of 500 sheep Is about one boy and a dog, and there the protection of labor ends. Was ever such a mockery of the protection of labor offered to ao intelligent people ? Should wool be taxed ? Let tbe Honse answer the question by its vote on tbe tariff. The people will answer it in thunder tones in favor of free woo! ; re duced prices to consumers ; enlarged labor for our workingmen ; the entire supply of our borne market and increas ed prosperity for both labor and capital. Philadelphia Times. Tbe Pensions Vetoes. Tbe Republican Senators will make nothing by their attacks upon Presi dent Cleve'and for bis vetoes of private pension bills. Tbe general public, including first of all the old soldiers who are worthy of their fame, believe with tbe President that tbe pension list should be "a roll of honor." Tbe demagogues and claim agents who are working together to taint tbe list witb favoritism and pauperism are tbe real enemies of tbe soldiers. Tbe general pension la a s are exceed ingly broad and liberal. Under tbem any deserving soldier or bis dependent representative can secure fair and gen erous treatment. More certificate have been issued under tbe present Adminis tration than were ever issued during the same time before. It is not just to tbe thousands or claimant without political or personal influence to pass special acts granting pensions to favored persons having "a pall," while others mast take their regular coarse. It is both unjust and demoralizing to override general laws and proper decision toy special legislation. President Cleveland bas shown great conscientiousoeM and courage in exam ining tbe hundreds of private bill and vetoing those that are Improper. The Justice or hi decisions Is attested by tbe fact tbat none of tbem bas been over ridden, and scarcely one of tbem attack ed upon its merit. If tbe President were a demagogue be would run a race with the Republi can politicians to curry favor with tbe "soldier vote." Being a faithful Chief Magistrate be does bis duty without fear or favor. X. Y. World. The Sugar Trust Tax. Since October last, tbe advince in the cost of raw materials for sugar manu facturers has been from one-eigbib to flve-elghts of a cent per pound. Since October last, by reason of tbe Sugar Trust that bas been perfected, tbe cost of sugar baa been advanced to con sumers from one and a half to one and seven-eighths cents per pound. An advance of one cent per pound on the sugar annually consumed in the United States aggregates tbe enormous sum or over thirty millions of dollars- Tbe Sugar Trust bas arbitrarily ad vanced tbe price of sugar to consumers some thirty-five million a year over and above tbe advanced cost of tbe raw material it consumes. Tbls is an arbitrary and lawless ex tortion of thirty-five millions Imposed upon tbe whole people of tbe country, a sugar in the one article that is in uni versal use in the homes of the land. How long will tbe people of tbe country consent to pay over thirty million a year to tbe Sugar Combine, and scores of millions of like robbery to the many other combines and trusts which have been bred by excessive tariff laws ? Tbe people who pay these extortionate taxes levied by protected monopolies, do the voting wben President and Con gressman are to be elected. Let tbem count the cost and vote as their bonest judgment dictates. Phila. Times. A taaad ! Oplalom.

Such a tremendus volume ot gas was encountered that tbe heavy drilling tools were blown out of the well and blgb In ah, a column of water was raised in tbe air to a height of 60 feet, and tbe roar of tbe escaping gas can be beard for milea. Experts pronounce the well a roarer and tbe supply of gas equal to tbe best of Flndlay wells. Reuben Powers, a colored boy T years of eg, was seized by a crowd of white boys wno were swimming in the Cove at Norwich Conn., on Tuesday afternoon, carried I oat Into deep water, ducked and deserted. Youog Power could not swim and tbe boys knew It He struggled bard to save ktmself. cried frantically for help, but received only jeers and laughter In return. Tbe boy was allowed to drown and then bis companions hurriedly made their escape. Tbe little village of Malvern. 21 miles from Philadelphia, 00 tbe Pennsylvania railroad, has a population of 400, fully 350 of whom are suffering with dysentery. There have been two deaths so far. and more may be expected, as In many casas entire families are prostrated. The eDl- demic, or endemic, as some of the physicians call it, broke out In the eastern or older portion of tbe village, and with a few exs ceptlons bas confined Itself there. Tuesday nlgbt some one broke into tbe Otterbeln churchyard at Newburg, Cum berland county, and despoiled the grave of Martin Van Buren Iloover, a wealthy citi zen who was burled two years ago. Tbey dug up tbe grave and broke off a heavy sil ver plate from the casket, but were fright. ened off before tbe body was exhumed. They were after some Jewelry and a pack age of money which Is supposed to have been placed In the coffin by a saperstitious wife. Edison bas Invented a new dinner clock which talks. Instead of striking the hour It speaks It. At dinner time a voice Issues from the clock and says "Dinner time," al so "1 o'clock." "2 o'clock", etc. as the case may be. Another device which he Is per fecting In connection with the clock is that of a female face, which be purposes to set In the face of the clock. Tbe lips of this figure will move at tbe hour, the bead will bow and tbe fictitious lady will say, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is bed time." On Wednesday of last week the body of an old man named Louis Scboenbach was found banging In the cellar of a vacant bouse at Denyer, Colorado. It was thought that be bad committed suicide. The fact tbat some money was missing from his effects, together with tbe fact that a San Francisco drummer named John Dauscber. who had been iatlmate witb Scboenbacb, bad disappeared after buying a draft for $500, caused suspicion to fall on Dauscber. and be waa arrested last Sunday In Denver. Scboenbach bad a family in Pennsylvania. Dr. M. C. Smith.. physician of Carlisle Pa. ; Juftice-of tbe-Pece Marguart, of Newvllle, and Andrew J. Stone, a farmer residing near Carlisle, have been arrested, charged with forgery, perjury, and conspir acy to defraud the "Old People's Mutual Benefit Society, of Elkhart, Indiana." It appears Stone's wife was Insured, and tbat papers purporting to establish ber death were sent to the company with a view of obtaining tbe amount of tbe policy $1,000 before the weman died . Tbe accused were bald for appearance at the next term of court. Science bas discovered yet another way of makng an artificial Ivory, which In Its creamy wbitness and great hardness resem bles yery perfectly tbe real. It Is formed roughly aa follows : Good potatoes are taken aod washed thoroughly In diluted sul phuric acid ; then tbey are boiled in tbe same solution, becoming very solid tod dense. In tbe final stage of preparation tbey are washed entirely free from tbe acid and then dried. Tbls preparation is found to give a very substantial aod useful Imita tion of the res lvorv, and will stand the processes of both dyelcg and turning. A shocking accident occurred near Gridley, in Illinois, tbe other day: The pretty 19 year-old daughter of Farmer Rudy Wltzig was raking bay with a borse, which became unmanageable. Mies Witzig, In at tempting to bold him, was thrown against a barbed wire fence and ber entire face waa torn off from ber neck up to ber fore bead. Ber lower jaw, chin, tongue and ber bonnet were left hanging, a gory mass, on tbe fence. Her father is very wealthy, but the unfortunate girl bas received no surgical attention, and ber father will not allow a doctor to come into tbe bouse. W. C. Simmons, of Madison county Georgia, says tbat on a north hillside near bis bouse are a dozen or more circles on tbe ground, varying in size from 3 to 16 feet across. In tbe center of each circle tbe grass seems to be greener than aaywberA else, while tbe grass in the track is dead and dry as a chip. Wbat has caused tbe circles to appear on tbe ground in this way is a mystery. They are perfectly round, and tbe track where tbe ground Is dead Is the same width all tbe way round, being about 18 or 20 incbes wide. Mr. Simmons will dig to ascertain the cause of the circles. Henry Uubener.a grocer, of New York, was awakened at 3 o'clock on Sunday morn ing by a noise in bis store. In tbe rear ot which he eleeps. Revolver in hand be en tered the store and was met by a man, who ordered him to go back. Hubener fired, and tbe man shrieked and fell. Two others ran into the etore and bore off their com panion, but were pursued by a policeman who bad beard the shot and shriek. Tbey dropped the man and escaped. The burg lar was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where be was found to be dangerously wounded. Ilubener was arrested, but was discharged. In Yanderburg county, Indiana, the other day a borse was standing tied to a fence, wben a drunken roan deliberately plunged his pocket knife into the dumb brute's neck. The gash was a long one and quite severe, and tbe blood flowed from the wound profusely. Tbe borse writhed in agony and in Its struggles broke the hitch ing rein and ran out of the lot. Tbe horse kept uo its speed down until the road it came to a drug store. The animal stalked into the store and went as far bck a the prescription case and set up a most pitiful relgbing. Tbe clerk was alarmed, but spoke gently to the animal aud, taxing a sponge, baUied the ugly wound In cool wa ter, much to the relit-f of the brute. The proprietor then sewed up tbe wound and tied a band around the animal's neck. The borse was then led pack seemingly happy and contented. The druggist Is positive in the assertion tbat this Is tbe n-atet case of brute sagacity on record, and points out the blood spots 00 the floor ot bis store in proof ot the tale. swj 5 w w CARL RrVIOMTUS, PRACTICAL WATCHMAKER & Umtlli AND DEALER IN M 1 1 .
